Program

  Tuesday, 5 November 2002
8:00-9:45 Third Plenary Session  Willem Burger Zaal C3.2
  From Promises of Clinical Trials to Reality

Moderator: Hubert G.M. Leufkens PhD, Professor of Pharmacoepidemiology, Utrecht Institute for Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Utrecht, Utrecht, The Netherlands

Empirical Evidence on Compliance

Speaker: John Urquhart MD, Professor of Pharmacoepidemiology, Maastricht University, Maastricht, The Netherlands

A great deal of misinformation prevails about differences between trials and practice in respect to patient compliance with prescribed or protocol-specified drug regimens. Sound terminology is based on the recognition that ambulatory pharmacotherapy has three parts, a beginning, a middle, and an end, each with qualitatively different dynamics and impact on therapeutic outcomes. The beginning is the patient’s acceptance, or not, of the pro-posed drug regimen. If acceptance, which is ~dichotomous, is not forthcoming, dosing never starts, and so has no attributable outcome. The middle is the accepting patient’s execution of the prescribed dosing regimen, which is a continuous process that can vary in quality over time. The end is the accepting patient’s termination of drug-taking, sometimes initiated by the prescriber, sometimes by the patient, but in either case ~dichotomous. This presentation will cover each of these phases and their relationship to compliance and persistence.

Empirical Evidence on Persistence

Speaker: Jacques LeLorier MD, PhD, FRCPC, Chief, Pharmacocpidemiology & Pharmacoeconomy Research Unit, University of Montreal, Montreal, Quebec, Canada

We will present the results of our research in adherence with long-term therapies to treat diabetes with Acarbose and prevent cardiovascular disease with statins. We will present a work in progress which deals with the development of a life-table model of the therapeutic effectiveness of the lipid modifying "statin" drugs in primary prevention. This model is based on published data collected during a major primary prevention trial of pravastatin (WOSCOP), but incorporates Quebec’s Ministry of Health real-world clinical data concerning persistence of patients with statin drug therapy. The latter data was extracted from the large administrative database of Quebec’s Ministry of Health. We will show that modelizing the clinical trial data using real-life persistence on therapy significantly increases the NNT necessary to obtain a clinical benefit in a real life population.

The Influence of Side-effects on Effectiveness

Speaker: Dr. Ron Herings, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Utrecht, Utrecht, The Netherlands

FROM EFFICACY TO EFFECTIVENESS Van Rijckevorsel Zaal C4.5

Moderator: Hubert G.M. Leufkens PhD, Professor of Pharmacoepidemiology, Utrecht Institute for Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Utrecht, Utrecht, The Netherlands
Panelists: John Urquhart MD, FRCP(Edin), Professor of Pharmacoepidmiology, Maastricht University, Maastricht,
The Netherlands; Daniel M Huse MA, Senior Research Scientist, Innovus Research Inc., Medford, MA, USA;
Thomas R Einarson, Associate Professor, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Toronto and Vice President of Scientific Affairs, PharmIdeas Inc., Oakville, ON, Canada

Bridging the gap between the knowledge on drugs we have from controlled trials (efficacy) to the real world out there (‘effectiveness’) is a major challenge for all of us. This panel will provide provocative thinking and strategies to cope with this gap in order to achieve maximum benefit from drug treatment.

DISCOUNTING AND ACTUAL TIME PREFERENCE IN SOCIETY
Van Beuningen Zaal C3.5

Moderator: John Cairns MA, Mphil, Reader, University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen, Scotland, UK
Panelist: Werner Brouwer MSc, Researcher, Institute for Medical Technology Assessment, Erasmus University, Rotterdam, The Netherlands

This session will consider a number of key issues: what do we know about individual time preferences for future health events; what are the research priorities with respect to time preferences; and what is the relationship between individual time preferences for health and appropriate discounting practice in economic evaluation.


RE-ASSESSMENT OF REIMBURSEMENT STATUS USING OUTCOMES RESEARCH  Willem Burger Zaal C3.2

Moderator: Lieven Annemans PhD, Mman, MSc, Director, HEDM and Professor, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Public Health, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium
Panelists: Ralph Crott PhD, MPH, Coordinator-Health Economics Unit, European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC), Brussels, Belgium; Jens Grueger PhD, Head of Health Economics Department, Novartis Pharmaceuticals AG, Basel, Switzerland; Frans Rutten PhD, Professor of Health Economics and Medical Technology, Erasmus University, Rotterdam, The Netherlands; Dr Colleen Metge, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, MB, Canada
Continued coverage of drugs by third payers requires more and more a re-assessment of their value for money. Many questions rise: which evidence, methods, timing are required? What is theoretically acceptable and practically feasible?

WHY SHOULD PHYSICIANS BE INTERESTED IN ECONOMIC EVALUATIONS?   Plate Zaal C4.4

Moderator: Peter Davey MD, FRCP, Head of Pharmacoeconomics, University of Dundee, Dundee, Scotland, UK
Panelist: Pamela Chavis MD, Associate Professor, Medical College of Virginia, Department of Ophthalmology, Crozier, Virginia, USA and Teus Van Barneveld, CBO, Utrecht, The Netherlands

As clinicians’ first interest is in their patients, they may not always be interested in economic evaluations. Options to bridge the gap between theory and practice are discussed.
